Apple on Monday released the second developer betas of iOS 18.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.2, both with additional Apple Intelligence features. However, the updates also bring some new features, and today's beta allows Mac users to add a Weather widget to the macOS menu bar.
Adding a Weather Widget to the macOS Menu Bar
There is currently no clear indication to help users discover the new feature. It is disabled by default, and users can add the Weather widget to the menu bar by going to System Preferences and then Control Center. Find the Weather option and choose to show it in the menu bar.
Once enabled, you will be able to see the current temperature in the menu bar. Clicking it on your Mac displays the full Weather app widget, which looks a lot like the old Notification Center widget from pre-Big Sur macOS versions.
The widget shows the current temperature with weather conditions and a forecast for the next few hours. There is also a button to open the Weather app.

Like iOS 18.2, macOS Sequoia 15.2 comes with a host of new features related to Apple Intelligence. These include Image Playgrounds and ChatGPT integration. While the beta update was initially available exclusively for M1 and later Macs, it now works with any Mac that is compatible with macOS Sequoia.
According to Apple, macOS Sequoia 15.2 will be released to the public in December.
